Glossybox - October 2012

They don't proof read their stuff often so it is probably just a typo. They sent a july glossy mag in june, and their august mag had a ton of grammatical errors. 

I did some research because I lack self control...

My guess is that the soap and lipstick/gloss will be full sized. The heel balm is probably the same 1 oz size, and I saw 0.85oz hair mist and 4 oz lotion which will likely be the deluxe sizes. I guess I just ruined the surprise for myself with all my detective work.

I think the COSMO code only works for the 3 month sub. I signed up 2 weeks ago and the confirmation page said i should expect my first box in LATE Nov and they also answered someone's question on their fb page saying that an order placed in Oct will start with Nov..... however I got 2 of their usual 2nd week email (and I would hate to have 2 spa boxes because it's not as nice as the previous 2 months). Fingers crossed it's a mistake and I can keep both!

I signed up in Mid September and was told I would get my first box in October. The card says "Spa Luxe" So it should be the October box. Weird...

Here is a picture of the actual products.

Sorry for the link. I am not sure how to put a picture in the spoiler.

thanks for the picture!  Everything looks great but I do hope we're not getting another of heel cream =/

And to add a picture with a spoiler link I put in the picture first with the <Insert Image> button then type whatever I want.  After that I select everything I want in the spoiler tag and click <Spoiler> button

Thanks for sharing! Maybe they have box variations and are putting repeats in for new subscribers? That would make sense. I would be surprised if we got repeated items, although I don't know if they specifically state they will not do that. What's funny is when I think of "Spa Luxe," that repeated item is exactly what first came to mind. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Keep us posted on what goodies the COSMO code comes with?

My 3 month subscription runs out in November, so I might use that code for another 3 month sub.  I would get two Nov boxes of course, but I'm hoping the end of the year boxes will be pretty good, like the UK Christmas one last year.  Of course, I realize i'd be spending $120 in 2 months just on GB... I think I have a problem, lol.

I also signed up in mid-September (literally...I signed up on the 15th at night) and I still got the September box...haha how are they doing this?

Thanks for the pics though...since I'm a new subscriber I guess I won't mind the box if that's what I get. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I signed up the 19th. Maybe those few days made a difference. I really liked my box A LOT.

That's exactly what I thought. I can't imagine they would send out the same product again, and so soon after it was already sampled.  Maybe those of us who already got that product will get a different product from the same company?

I have a feeling this box is the regular box since R29 has the hit kit which they already released what products are included. A third variation seems unlikely.

If I remember correctly, some of us emailed GB regarding the R29 offer and box differences with that deal - GB wrote back that the only difference between the R29 sub and the regular sub would be the November box (which was advertised as the Hit Kit on the R29 site). I wonder of they're changing this and dispersing Hit Kit products throughout? E.g. the Missha BB Cream.

I hope so!

I wondered this, too. What were the other products in that group? I only remember the Missha being featured, but I know there were others.

Ah you're right that WAS november. Getting ahead of myself. But here is the link with the hit kit stuff: http://www.refinery29.com/glossybox-exclusive/slideshow#slide-1

Thanks for refreshing our memories! I couldn't remember either lol. So maybe the full size gift with purchase in the R29 verbiage was the Missha BB Cream.. At any rate, I'm excited for GB even if they have confused the bejeezes out of me with this month's products and shipping times!

Thanks for posting that link. I wonder if we'll see any of these in the October box or if the other four items will all be saved for November? I super confused, too!

Any pics? Someone received their box?

I'm a little confused about the possibility of repeats.  I already feel oddly about the Missha being received by everyone last month when they said it was coming in the November box for the Refinery29 customers.  My gut reaction was that everyone would really be getting the same thing anyway and perhaps they were just distributing everything as they saw fit over the three months.  I don't know, really.  I guess I don't really care so long as I don't end up with a bunch of repeats.  I'm also curious about this mystery "extra free full sized item" that R29 said you got for signing up and how they handle that if they don't try to pass it off as one of the random full sized items in the boxes.

To the person who received the possible repeat item (Ashitude), did you receive that item in a previous box as well or are you a more recent subscriber?

I am a new Sub, this is my first box.

 

[yousoldtheworld]

Hmm, if I get that box, I might be a bit disappointed. Not horribly so, but definitely a little iffy about already receiving repeats, and I'm not sure if I will be interested in the other items or not. I'm curious about the sample sizes.
